Fastest way to check for changes in 2.5+ Million files?

Here are some additional ideas to speed up the checking:

Make sure you have your own Client ID

Remove --tpslimit=10 (unless a test has shown that it is needed, if so then ignore the other ideas too)

Add --drive-pacer-min-sleep=10ms (to use the latest limits from Google)

Change --checkers=16 (to increase concurrency)

I don’t know how they will play with all the other parameters. I would perform some tests to find the 2-3 parameters that makes the most difference and then leave the rest at defaults (remember --dry-run).

I have assumed default settings for Google Drive in your config.
